Kenya eEvisa: From 3rd world to 4th world No confirmation mails of received application. 5 days later still not debited my account, don’t know if payment even went actually through. Can’t contact anyone to find out. Ridiculous questions (eg, Parents names and status) yep…Dad, dead. Well that was a help! You are the Fawlty Towers of immigration departments. In comparison: New Zealand- done in 48 hours.

The visa we'd completed here said not completed at all! We deliberately arranged our visas in advance, specifically for myself, as my new wife's couldn't be done till after our wedding day, 16th July. We reached Kenya after a long day's travelling, only to find there was no record of mine, although I'd already paid for it- really not impressed. I expect a full refund of the money paid.

We did not need to buy this service The service took 3 days regardless of how much I paid for 1-day turnaround. As it turns out Kenya has on-site visas for less than $60 US. The international agent laughed at me for buying these visas. The information was listed in his computer, so the application was complete; but I did not know it was complete until I was at the border.

System looks simple, but does not work System looks simple, but you get stuck on the selfie section: I got a selfie, select the photo to use, but the system does not allow you to move beyond that. The 'take a selfie' trigger keeps showing up as an error.

KHC don't answer phone calls, emails and letters. My experience is long. I will include a link to my bad experience below. Please see my complaint on Youtube at Qande Channel. The title is "Lost in Communication: Our frustration with the Kenya High Commission London" .
